OU quarterback John Mateer missed reads and wide-open receivers in the Sooners' loss to Ole Miss. It's unclear if his injury is still hindering him.

It was another disappointing day for the Oklahoma Sooners in a high-profile matchup. This time against a top-10 team in their 34-26 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels. The Sooners fought their way back for a third-quarter lead but squandered opportunities in the fourth quarter to get a big win.

No. 8 Ole Miss improved to 7-1 and doesn't have a ranked team left on its schedule after wining 34-26 at No. 13 Oklahoma on Saturday.

Mateer had surgery on the throwing hand during Oklahoma’s off week, then sat out the win over Kent State. He returned for the showdown against Texas on Oct. 11, but he had the worst game of his career and threw three interceptions in a loss. He limited mistakes in a win against South Carolina last week as the running game carried the load.

When OU football travels to face Tennessee next Saturday, it'll play under the lights at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.
